Telehealth-Only Therapy in Clancy Case: Psychiatrist Never Met Patient in Person

In the Lindsay Clancy murder case, her psychiatrist testified that all sessions with Clancy were conducted via telehealth and she had never met her in person, limiting her ability to observe physical cues (hands/legs). The defense questioned potential misrepresentation of postpartum specialization and whether hospital records were reviewed, noting Clancy’s claims of worsening symptoms and prior hospital visits. The psychiatrist disputed malpractice allegations, saying sessions lasted 25–30 minutes and she provided support, though she did not review hospital records and did not see signs of psychosis in clinic notes.
